Robotics Urology Surgery

The diseases affecting the pelvic region such as prostate cancer, respond best to robotic surgery. Because robotic surgery is done with tiny incisions rather than larger skin incisions, it is a less invasive procedure. This ensures that healing happens faster and patients can quickly resume their regular activities post-surgery.

We have a fully active robotic technology that has pioneered fine precision robotic surgery with a first-of-its-kind robot. The robotic system:

• Conducts the procedure under the supervision of an experienced surgeon.
• Offers precision and dexterity in cutting and milling.
• Enhances the procedure by ensuring maximum accuracy.
• Prevents causes and incidence of repeat surgery.

A camera arm and four mechanical arms with surgical instruments attached to them.

• A surgical console from where the surgeon controls the arms while seated near the operating table.
• A camera view that gives the surgeon a high-definition, magnified, 3D view of the surgical site.
• The surgeon leads other team members who assist during the operation.
• Robotic arms provide a fully wristed articulation for complete surgeon control from the console.
• It provides intelligent feedback to help doctors maneuver the surgery to better outcomes.
• The fourth-generation robotic instrument arms allow ports to be placed in a straight line to seamlessly perform multi-port procedures.
• A universal arm design allows the surgeon to insert the endoscope on any arm at any time during the procedure.
• The robot comes with longer instruments and thinner arms for improved range of motion and enhanced precision by eliminating the potential for collision while working in narrow and delicate areas.

Among the typical urological surgical procedures that make use of robotic technology are:

• Robotic prostatectomy: A surgical treatment to help remove the prostate gland.
• Robotic cystectomy: Surgical treatment for removal of the urinary bladder.
• Robotic partial nephrectomy: Surgery for removal of a tumor-bearing portion of the kidney.
• Robotic pyeloplasty: Surgery to rectify ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) blockage.
• Conditions under Paediatric Urology which need a delicate approach.
• Surgery for clogged upper pole moiety in a duplex kidney
• Ureterotomy
• Nephroureterectomy
• Adrenalectomy

The Planning:

• First, the patients must make an informed decision with proper counseling with the surgeon about the procedure.
• Then the patient proceeds to get high-end CT scans performed of the localized area for the surgery.
• These CT scans are used to build a comprehensive surgery plan.

The Execution:

• The patient is connected to the robot and stabilized for surgery.
• The patient terminal is then inserted with the surgical ports and aligned to give a 3D view to the surgeon’s camera console.
• Then the surgeon performs the surgery using the robotic arms at his end which is replicated by the AI on the patient end.
• The robot reviews the procedure and assists the surgeon in making accurate cuts with the robotic arm. 

Comparing robotic urologic surgery to traditional urologic surgical methods reveals several benefits. It benefits both the patient and the surgeon doing the surgery.

• Overall better clinical outcomes
• Quicker recovery time
• Smaller scars.
• Shorter hospital stays.
• Reduced blood loss.
• Lower risk of infection.
• Reduced pain during recovery.

A Robotic System is a fully automated, active technology. It offers multiple benefits to both the surgeon and the patient. It is the most advanced surgical equipment and the benefits of this robotic system can be summarised as:

• Possibility of doing surgery in constrained bodily areas
• Better visualization with HD magnified 3D imaging superior to the naked eye.
• Greater precision with minimized human errors using robotic arms.

The CK Birla Hospital uses cutting-edge surgical techniques to enhance your quality of life. Surgeons may now perform crucial procedures with ease, flexibility, accuracy, and precision thanks to the newest breakthroughs in technology, which also provide the greatest clinical outcomes.

Highlights of Robotic Surgery:

• Multidisciplinary team approach.
• Innovation-driven healthcare solutions.
• Fast and comprehensive recovery.
• World-class physiotherapy support.
• End-to-end rehabilitation support post-surgery as applicable.
